  • DCNeonix Ethan (@DCNeonix) reported

    Sorry for the stream issues last night my computer and streaming and overwatch 2 are not mixing well for some reason and it’s causing major issues so hopefully we can solve that soon. You can get back to a recom people on that game. Pc not even outdated I built it in 2020..

  • DavianGma i eat *** and tacos 🌮🐝🐝 (@DavianGma) reported

    @MsMystie @lmaoZeroGN @alphaINTEL I never played overwatch but one time and thought it was garbage so pls educate me on what happened with those *****. Something like fixing the audio in apex would require tons of work, probably not something they can fix while making content at the same time I assume.

  • aletheamoirai Alethea Moirai (モイライ) 🥀💀 (@aletheamoirai) reported

    I’m not so sure my Overwatch will be working :c after having issues today. Its also affecting my valorant so I will cancel stream today while I figure out whats going wrong. i’m sorry for the inconvenience 🤍

  • TheAmberBerries AmberBerries (@TheAmberBerries) reported

    @theemagi If you spent an amount of money you could afford to spend it aint a problem really. If you had spare money you wanted to spend, it's not buying overwatch skins over eating, it's not really the same. People can waste their money on a new couch and it isn't a couch addiction.

    @PlayOverwatch Fix the damn game I'm tired of lagging the hell out. Overwatch 1 was so much better.

  • comfyyurucamper comfykit (@comfyyurucamper) reported

    getting a crash course in every overwatch tank that isnt dva later, i have got to end my life no longer are the days where i can one-trick dva to diamond

  • tomwarren Tom Warren (@tomwarren) reported

    @JezCorden Overwatch has the same progression / reward issues as Halo Infinite now. I dunno if I miss loot boxes, but I do miss getting rewards outside of this battle pass

  • TheAmberBerries AmberBerries (@TheAmberBerries) reported

    @Dr_Fiv3 If it wasn't overwatch lootboxes, it'd be csgo crates. Or a slot machine in a casino. Gambling problems always have and always will exist. That's not to say lootboxes are GOOD. They aren't. BUT - they are better than the current store system that FORCES everyone to pay.

  • Erase_Mii16 Erase Mii (@Erase_Mii16) reported

    Overwatch 2’s biggest problem is the fact that it was made by blizzard

  • NotSecrynge prem. (@NotSecrynge) reported

    i wanna play overwatch 2 but it keeps ******* crashing, overwatch fix your ******* game

  • MsMystie Mystie (@MsMystie) reported

    @DavianGma @lmaoZeroGN @alphaINTEL You do understand how a live-service game works right? Overwatch 1 is a prime example on what would happen if the devs stopped working on new content to fix bugs. The devs simultaneously work on making new content and fixing bugs

  • YiffMan SPOOKYpurr is ✨ OPEN FOR COMMISSIONS ✨ (@YiffMan) reported

    im gonna be real and i know its cringe but i really like overwatch 2. my main problem with overwatch 1 was all the cc and they got rid of all the annoying **** lol. but please bring back lootboxes i dont care if you give them worse odds or w/e i just wanna be a f2p player

  • BlizLive serBliz (@BlizLive) reported

    Sorry for the stream inconsistencies, have personal stuff going on but trying to stay on track, Apex is still causing performance issues on stream, Overwatch 2 is running fine on the other hand.

  • mefreeced 🐻 FrEEKed (they/them) (@mefreeced) reported

    Just realized my mouse has been broken for some time. Will getting a new one make me better at Overwatch? Or is this how I find out I'm a lost cause?

  • DefNotTh8uh Joe (@DefNotTh8uh) reported

    Like Fortnite, Apex, Valorant, they all do this. This isn't an Overwatch problem, its a f2p formula problem.

  • BrumWisseme BrumWisseme (@BrumWisseme) reported

    @Tromnic102 Fortnite, Apex, Rocket League, Overwatch and many more games had worse issues with Cosmetics which were deactivated/bugged and STILL PURCHASABLE for a long time + took way longer until they were hotfixed BUT NO, just hate on rogue company instead

  • N0xAeterna N0x Aeterna (@N0xAeterna) reported

    @BlizzardCS I keep getting sporadically disconnected from Overwatch 2 servers this morning. Are there known issues today? My internet connectivity is not showing any issues when I get disconnected.

  • CluelessNix ❄️【Nix】🌙 (@CluelessNix) reported

    Did Overwatch comp help me push through my depression? Yes. Number I give value went up. Dopamine and Serotonin given. Do the things I need to do, aaaand crash.

  • kamikazejose Hispanic at the disco (@kamikazejose) reported

    if u are mad about overwatch skins you dont have enough real problems and i dont need your fake ones

  • TTV_Carlo1678 Carlo (@TTV_Carlo1678) reported

    I don't know much about Overwatch and I'm definitely a new player, but doesn't it seem kind of broken that doing damage to Winston's bubble, or Sigma's shield gives Sojourn her rail gun charge? Maybe that contributes to her OPness but I could totally be wrong. Just a thought.

  • impanarinlol impanarinlol (@impanarinlol) reported

    @Allan_Pitanga @BastionMain11 Well as a bastion main i will tell you this they definitely nerfed him hard this overwatch but ow1 he was broken. Watch "flanking bastion" on yt

  • HenloJonno ♥ Jonno ♥ (@HenloJonno) reported

    I hate games as a service. I hate free to play. The monetization always sucks the life out of the game. However I really love overwatch and have been trying my hardest to stay positive and find things I like. I hope this update is good so I can stop attempting to defend it 😭

  • baronj67 Baron J67 - LV1⚡ (@baronj67) reported

    @ohkairyn That's rough I've been seeing a lot of people feeling the same way on this app. I never really played overwatch before ow2, does it feel broken in comparison?

  • nicoghosty ghost boy novelist (@nicoghosty) reported

    Love that i have to play overwatch on lowest settings now(i played 1 on highest without trouble) and those settings male me feel nauseated gg can't play my favorite game anymore

  • IcyVert IcyVert (@IcyVert) reported

    changes I need to see from overwatch 2: • battle pass should be extra content, not ALL the content - fix this • this upcoming event should have ways to obtain the skins without paying for recycled content • *sigh* lootboxes • better ways to unlock tokens (apex legends like)

  • BritTrashPanda BritishTrashPanda - VTuber - Twitch Affiliate (@BritTrashPanda) reported

    Fully expecting the OW2 Halloween event to be broken when it launches tonight. It always seemed to happen in the original Overwatch.

  • iRelixx James (@iRelixx) reported

    Overtime on overwatch is broken lol

  • DollsKilling Ani (@DollsKilling) reported

    @AngelxoTv I think it has to do with overwatch releasing that patch where they fix peoples rank.

  • The_GM_is_God Ben 🎃🍂 (@The_GM_is_God) reported

    Almost every issue I have with Overwatch is a result of its battle pass change

  • MegEditss Meg (@MegEditss) reported

    1 issue I have with overwatch 2: don't throw me in games that have 15 seconds left and we're losing miserably
